Will AI augment rather than replace jobs? (via Passle)

AI replacing jobs - It does make for an interesting story. However, one major catch has been pointed out: there is not yet clear enough evidence that it's actually going to happen. Although, automation is not necessarily bad... Suppose it does occur - apart from making things faster with higher accuracy and efficiency, then won't automation through AI also create new categories of jobs? These are just some of the thoughts I had while watching the livestream of the #WatsonSummit in Auckland earlier this week. The one big, repeated theme from @ibmnz reinforced how #AI will augment rather than replace jobs or people.
